Converts a UADataChangeTrigger to a data change filter.

Syntax

[JetBrains.Annotations.NotNull()]
public UADataChangeFilter operator implicit( 
   UADataChangeTrigger trigger
)

[JetBrains.Annotations.NotNull()]
public:
operator UADataChangeFilter^ ( 
   UADataChangeTrigger trigger
)

'Declaration
 
<JetBrains.Annotations.NotNullAttribute()>
Overloads Public Operator Widening CType( _
   ByVal trigger As UADataChangeTrigger _
) As UADataChangeFilter

'Usage

Parameters

trigger: A value filter's absolute deadband.

Return Value

Returns a data change filter with the given trigger, and no deadband.

This method never returns null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

This operator is equivalent to FromUADataChangeTrigger.
